C.O.R.I. REFORM ACTIONS ALERT
C.O.R.I. REFORM ACTIONS ALERT
April 30 to May 14
Landmark reforms are so close!
We are calling on you to lend your support in what we hope will be the last leg of this campaign.
DO YOUR PART!
After years of tireless organizing and advocacy, the Massachusetts State Senate adopted a comprehensive CORI reform bill last November. Since then, Speaker DeLeo has made public commitments to address CORI in the House after the budget.
This creates a critical window to pass a CORI bill in the month of May.
Thousands of individuals and over 110 organizations have signed on as supporters of CORI reform. Community Change has been supporting CORI reform for years. We alert you to the following critical actions and ask you to participate as you are able:
CORI Coalition Meeting
Friday, April 30th, 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM
Project Hip Hop
2181 Washington St. 3rd Floor, Dudley Square, Roxbury
Emergency update and briefing on the status of CORI reform, what was in the Senate bill, and immediate next steps in the campaign.
CORI Rally & Lobby Day
Thursday, May 6th, 12:00 to 3:00 PM
State House
We are calling for a major mobilization of CORI reform supporters to rally and lobby at the State House for passage of a House bill. Details are forthcoming, but all organizations in support of reforms are called to action!
Statewide Call-In Campaign
May 3rd - 14th
We will be contacting all endorsing organizations to help generate phone calls to the State House in the first 2 weeks of May. If you are interested in helping with this effort, please email atanaka@bostonworkersalliance.org
The reforms included in the Senate bill would make Massachusetts the first state to remove the CORI question from job applications, and would prevent dismissed cases as well as felonies over a decade old from being held against applicants.
CORI affects hundreds of thousands across the State, and represents a regressive barrier for low income communities and communities of color to build economic health and prosperity. Please help make CORI reform a reality!
